I'm not sold, the thing sounds too happy to be called top dragster. If you are going to try and immitate the name of top fuel, then you must also immitate the insanity. That thing should sound like it's ready to blow even at idle speeds. I'm willing to bet this thing doesn't even manage to run a 6 flat.

@Polybun During it's initial testing runs it wen 7.17 et with the trans breaking at the 1000 foot mark.

[Twankiejones]

is it still running on diesel?

[bankspowerinsider]

@Twankiejones It always has. 

[Twankiejones]

@bankspowerinsider why doesnt it blow any smoke

[bankspowerinsider]

@Twankiejones Proper engine tuning and proper airflow.

@bankspowerinsider Is this Gale Banks answering that? Lol. Sick rail. Hope you can break 6s eventually.

@Polybun Why the hell would you even begin to question an diesel built by banks? Moron. Diesel and any other fuels are completely different animals. There's NO comparison.

Diesels no not need to sound like a pro-stock engine to be bad ass, the torque alone is awsome be that dragster will get in the low 5's or better when it is tuned right.

It sounds so tame, how wrong you'd be to think it's slow!

[hebeya10]

definitely not enough velocity stack

[qtotgirl]

I read about with smoke vs. without smoke. Does this motor have better performance with smoke ?

[Duk3Nuk3m85]

<3 the sound :P

[ericmck2000]
